Fantastic stay with friends. Loved the motel- the decor was a hoot and a half. Steps away from Jo’s coffee and motel’s pool. Central location for tourists - great food and fantastic boutiques only a short walk away.
Rooms could be cleaner and there was...More
This hotel is pure fun. I was booked into this hotel by my client and they thought it would be a great place for me to stay. The staff is VERY friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel at home. I...More
Funky and weird is not enough of a reason to ignore the fact the rooms need a major upgrade. I get what they are trying to do, but you can't dress it up and ignore the old outdated items that need attention. Other revues cover...More

Hi Alan,
Thanks for staying with us, though I'm sorry to hear it didn't meet your expectations. The Tivoli radio does not have an alarm feature, but we do offer 24/7 wake-up calls from the front desk. We're also currently working to add or replace...More
Overall, I completely catch the swag of this iconic motel. Location = Everything. Unique features (check). Very hip scene. It is a bit dated but it's more stylish than not...especially the bodega and pool. My one caution is that the environment seems geared for an...More

Hi,
I'm glad you enjoyed the location, bodega, and pool during your stay! We do have a few cheeky design features, most of them continuing the motif of our iconic sign.
Our pool is a big draw for families, and we definitely want everyone to...More
Fun, old fashioned and lovable. I'm guessing if you like chain hotels you probably won't like this. I hate chain hotels and this was the antithesis of chain blandness. It felt like an experience staying here. South Congress is resisting Austins gentrification and is better...More

Steve,
We love the love you're sending our way! There has certainly been a lot of change on South Congress, and when the Austin Motel started renovations in 2016, we had plenty of concerned people ask, "Are you keeping it funky and weird?"

The motel does not sell or have food service but there is a taco place next door which was always busy and a fantastic dinner about 3 or 4 blocks from there (heading away from downtown) that is open 24 hrs with really good and inexpensive food. About 10 mins walk or so.
We stayed in the smallest room as we only needed it to sleep. Can't remember what they call it... It was big enough for two without feeling claustrophobic.
